Ignite playwriting competition

Ignite is a national playwriting competition aiming to find undiscovered voices for the Scottish Stage. Using a contemporary piece of literature as inspiration, we want you to write a short play scene (not an adaptation of the original source).

The winner will receive six months focused dramaturgical and directorial support, advice and training to develop their scene into a full length play, which will be given a rehearsed reading as part of Glasgow City Council'’s Aye Write Festival, in February 2007.

You have to be Scottish or living in Scotland to apply - closing date 31 August 2006. Full details from the Playwrights' Studio, Scotland. Thanks to BBC Writersroom for the link.
